The former Military Specialized Institute for Pulmonary Diseases Nová Polianka will once again serve the needs of SVK service members and citizens. Parliamentary Chairman Andrej Danko and Defence Minister Peter Gajdoš symbolically tapped the foundation stone as the reconstruction got underway today (18 October 2019). HOREZZA, an MOD-owned joint stock company, has now begun to redesign the facility as a climatic spa. It will reopen to the public as early as next year.
Defence Minister Peter Gajdoš said: “Nová Polianka has always been a property of the SVK Ministry of Defence. I hope that everything will go according to plan and the climatic spa, which we want to develop here, will be a place for service members to come and relax as part of their recreational stays or with their families in their free time.” He reminded that the reopening of the facility will create 50 new jobs in the region.
Parliamentary Chairman Andrej Danko said: “I am proud to see that the Slovak Ministry of Defence, led by nominees of the Slovak National Party, is beginning with reconstruction works here, which will be beneficial not only to local citizens, but also to members of the Slovak Armed Forces,” adding that “I hope this property will be developed further in the future, rather than being put up for sale or lease.”
As Director General of HOREZZA Miloslava Slížová noted, the reconstruction costs will be paid from the company’s budget via a bank loan. “So, the money will not come from the MOD,” she emphasised.
The Nová Polianka building, which is a national cultural heritage site, will have 141 beds. The climatic spa will create favourable conditions for treating a number of diseases related to the human body’s respiratory system.
